Top failures
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 10.46%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.44%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 6.56%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.86%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.35%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.99%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
